Tresco

‘Tresco’

Tresco is wonderful if you like short walks in the prettiest imaginable surroundings, especially when you consider that you are in the UK still. Flowers everywhere in Spring and Summer. There is nothing to match it except perhaps Flores and Corvo in the Azores. NO cars and few people make Tresco ideal for a family holiday. There's very good hotel that does very good food. However the rest of the Scilly islands are best left alone. They are cheaper but a lot less pretty, including the island a hundred yards off Tresco which is okay for a long walk, but the hotel there is best avoided. The hotel itself is fine but the service is amateur almost to the point of Fawlty Towers (even though its under the same ownership as the hotel on Tresco). Best to just go to Tresco and hire a cottage. Go for two days if a couple and up to a week if a family with children. It's safe and ideal for children and there's even a sailing club.
